Let me illuminate you then. There was a discussion on social media between myself and a nottingham-based volvo specialist - Shemtek - that perhaps I should be disappointed with the results of the turbo and some of it may be down to higher than normal exhaust gas temperatures EGT. Shemtek said that I had the wrong turbine housing and that the one I had bought would be artificially increasing the EGTs. This is all purely conjecture without some proof. So I was looking to Dream3r to provide me with some data logging so I could get the WOT values for EGT amongst other things. At the moment the amount of data I have is limited to merely 10 runs on HLM's dynojet from last year.

There probably is some wisdom in changing the collector after the turbo to either include a separate exhaust pipe just for the wastegate...
using this flange that works with the GTX housing
as opposed to what I have right now -
or even a wide mouth collector welded onto a 5 bolt flange.

Even though the space is tight - I think the dedicated 2" W/G exhaust pipe is a better option as it means minimal changes to the actuator. Removing the V-band and altering the DP slightly is much easier.

I don't know why I imagined that the value could pull it off the top o2 sensor - derrr!
Can I wire one in? (goes off to the internet to find out)

My blitz i-color sadly cannot be expanded to include EGTs - only AFR and I would have to buy the MMD upgrade to include it and even then There are 2 plugs for optional sensors. One is strictly for Temperature and the other is for either Pressure OR A/F Analyser.
The unit is not able to display both Pressure and A/F.
Blitz's EGT standalone gauge is quite expensive at 200 quid.
Not sure which gauge to get.

Do I really need to tap my exhaust manifold?

that's what the advice seems to say. The guy (Chris) is pretty knowledgeable if you give him a call. I was thinking about getting one for the Renault and would need to go into the manifold also if I wanted to fit the sensor before turbo..although that is a tubular one so would be less of a worry - drawn piping as opposed to a cast item
Would it not be easyer to change the turbo all together?

I think the main reason Dave isn't getting the power is the modified 19T map, I think if it was mapped properly he would see in excess of 450bhp, although I still question the size of his boost pipes and I would be inclined to change the exhaust housing for something like this.

Yosser was very successful getting his (now my) S70R custom mapped for the mods on his car - I think the forum should have a whip round and fund 3 new maps from different tuners for comparison for Wobbly, in the name of science . It's not all about peak numbers anyway....depends how the car drives & what it will be used for.
